Quiet mornings before school starts can be lonely, but peaceful. For some people, they're a good time to just breathe and prepare themselves for the day ahead. Fluttershy and Adagio Dazzle find themselves doing this in the same place at the same time, in their own ways.

Based on a picture that was a little too big to be the cover art, but cute enough to inspire some shipping anyway.

Now comes with actual cover art courtesy of SkycatcherEquestria!

Comments may contain spoilers!

Now comes with Trope page!

It's the first day of Spring Break, so the Rainbooms and the Dazzlings decide where better to spend it then at the beach? While there, Sunset is asked by Adagio if she'd be willing to see something alone with her.

Why does this request both excite and terrify Sunset at the same time?

Many thanks to a bunch of wonderful people who aided me in this endeavor. Thanks to Harmony Charmer for all of her support in the creation of this fic, BRyeMC for the edits, Calm Wind for the cover art, and all those who read the fic and told me that they enjoyed it.

This story is a sequel to Her Knight In Shining Aria

Sonata starts to think that there might be something more to her relationship with Aria. Aria on the other hand, does not. And Adagio...well Adagio's trying to figure out what the heck is going on.

This story is a sequel to Teenset Shimmer Gets Wasted In Her Room While Listening To Nirvana

Sunset Shimmer still has a lot on her mind. Things are looking up though, with Twilight over, she actually gets someone to talk to. About life, love and stuff like that.
The small issue of the thing is that Sunset seems to have been put face-to-face with the one she wants to talk about.

Written because I enjoy pretending this is how people think and things work.
Nervous teenage girl-love written by some later 20's guy.
Sounds creepy, I know.

"My name is Sunset Shimmer, and there are two Twilight Sparkles who are both madly in love with me.

Please help."

Twilight Sparkle knows they’re lucky, and she’s not stupid. All her human counterpart wants is to try and understand how the magic works. But she’s in love, and as logical as she tries to be, she can’t handle a human version of herself being around her girlfriend Sunset all of the times she can’t be.

7/7/2016: Now with cover art designed by the very generous Novel-Idea! Thank you so much!

This story is a sequel to How the Sunset Sparkles

The Rainbow Falls trade fair has arrived, and every pony is looking to trade their old junk for their new treasure. Sunset Shimmer has come to the fair looking for something special: the perfect engagement ring with which to propose to the perfect marefriend. Calling on the help of her little sister, Eclipse, Sunset scours the fair and finds the ring, but can she complete the deals she needs in time to get her hooves on it?

Sunset Shimmer has a lot on her mind. What happened? Where is she going? Why are things the way they are?
A drink and a smoke and perhaps a good friend will change the outlook of her... well, everything.

Written because I enjoy the idea of a lone teenage girl getting increasingly intoxicated while listening to good music and figuring out what to do with her troubles.
Sounds creepy, I know.

Contains extremely light drug use.

This story is a sequel to Messenger

Sunset Shimmer has found herself spending a great deal of time with the Dazzlings as of late, as they adjust to their new life-after-magic. Though, considering what the four of them used to be, does she really know Adagio as well as she thinks?

A big thanks to Bookish Delight for collaborative help with vetting my ideas, supplying a few, authorial advice, editing, and general encouragement throughout the process here.

And thanks, as usual, to Csquared08 for additional pre-reading and some brief technical input.

Teen for occasional language, alcohol references and light intimacy.

This story is a sequel to An Open Door

After receiving a request from a rather unexpected source, Twilight helps deliver a long-overdue message from Celestia to her former student.

This story is set one month after An Open Door, which itself occurs about six months after Rainbow Rocks.

It's not required to read Open Door first. Just go into this story with the understanding that the Dazzlings have started to befriend the others, and have come to realize there is some joy to be found in their new life-after-magic. If you're interested in how that went down on this timeline from Adagio's perspective, then Open Door is the place to check that out.

Cover art is my own. You may have seen it here already, as another author had created a story based on it some time ago. Drawing this piece is what got me interested in fanfiction. So now that I've had a taste of writing with Open Door, I've decided to come full-circle and write something for it myself.

Pre-reading and brief creative input from Jondor (thanks, man)
Editing, proof-reading and additional input from Csquared08 (I made some small tweaks after the final edit pass, just recently. So any typos are my fault and not something overlooked by C. ;)
